1T is wise IL you are going to put
English currants into cake, to dry them
on a cloth by the fire after washing
them, as sometimes the cold water will
cause the cake to fall. - Christian al

Good blood is appreciated more and
more each year by those who purchase
horses for city purposes. The farmer
who has the best bred animals to sell
generally fares the best-a good thing

"A Tennessee farmer made an appli-
J cation of one handful of ground sui
phur, and the same of salt; to about a
peck of ashes, mixed together thor
oughly, then applied it to the collars
of the apple trees that were badly
affected with the borer. He says
the remedy killed the, worms and saved
the trees.
The prevalence of insects and the
recurring failure of the fruit crop from
various causes will act as discourage
ments to further planting, and will
even lead to the uprooting of many
trees; but those who persevere to the
end and take good care of their orchards
shall have their reward. Troy Times.
Fried Cabbage: Chop fine; to one
| pintof chopped cabbage add 'one-half
teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of
lard, very little pepper Cess pepper
than salt) and one-guarter teacupful of
water; place over the fire, cook fifteen
minutes, then add vinegar, less than
one-fourth of cupful, cook five min
utes longer, then serve.-Boston Globe.
Common Cake -One -half cupful of
butter or lard one cup of sugar; rub
well together with spoon, add two
eggs and stir well the eggs should be
previously well beaten), add a handful
of raisins, the same of currants (pre-
viously washed), spoonful of dried
apple sauce or of peach sauce, spoon
full of jelly, the same of lemon extract
nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and spice

The good common sense of the
average farmer ought to see, and will
soon see, that no one can part with a
COW which will produce ten pounds Of
butter per week on an average, for a
less sum than 5000. For the 500 pounds
of butter she produces would afford him
800 profit, bes DIES the skim milk and
the calf she drops annually. There is
some difference surely between COW
which will only yield $50 worth of but
ter and one which will yield $125 ans
nually. Prairie Farmer. t'
